The bellboy was dishonest and returns them only 1 dollar each, keeping 2 dollars for himself. So the persons actually spent 27 dollars and the bellboy took 2 dollars.

13. There is no dollar missing from the original 30 dollars. The confusing part is summing the bellboy's 2 dollars to the 27 dollars, when actually it must be subtracted.

3 Mistakes in our life and how to avoid them
In this article I will give you information about three mistakes usually every person do. Failures are stepping stone to success but never learning from them leads to failure only. Find the facts which I am stating below and if it helps in your spiritual enhancement then it will be an achievable moment for me.

“Anyone who never did mistake has never attempted anything new”- by Albert Einstein.
I believe we are in this system to grow, to develop, to learn from experience and to understand. Growth and finding are the goal of life. I also believe must do it in our own way.
Our cultures, society, experiences and even our relations like our family can produce fears and restriction which tend to hold us back in life. Even this is not done intentionally by them. Actually they also don’t know the things which they are doing can impact up to what level to their loved ones. It is just the best what we all are doing we can do in this fascinating and complicated world.
There can be many past experiences and views generated by them which can hinder your growth and creativity and ultimately limit our lives. The three mistakes which I realized we often make in our lives which limit our growth are given below:
Mistake 1- Not taking your feelings seriously
Have you said “I’m fine” to yourself when you have feeling of afraid or hurt? Or said “It’s not a big task” when, in fact, it was sucking your inner energy (and probably your dreams)?
When you are in the competition to get job, award or an important task and you say to yourself in fearing that people’s praise, dream, or activity didn’t matter. Your eyes scrolled to yourself and you say that “you are not doing well, you are a looser.”
If this is the case, then I will only say that don’t make yourself small and you must not think like that.
“The win”—whatever “the win” means to you, matters a lot. It matters a lot that you accept a dream to begin a business. It matters a lot that you demand higher than what anybody is getting or having. It matters that you are in panic or unsettled or want more wealth or expansions in your life.
It matters a lot because these events are the symptoms that you are not on proper track. First task is to be identified of these symptoms. After identification, you are ready to uncover the hidden truth and potential in you and to absorb it. And those symptoms should consistently be taken seriously. Listen to your hidden voice, find out where it is. It’s there for a cause.
Mistake 2- Not making room for growth
Growth needs room or space for expansion in real world and in your imaginary world both. It wants place in your plan also. You have to make an organized plan for increasing your growth. I observed that there are three reasons why we do not give place or time for growth:
1. You think that this is foolish. You have heavy workload, daily duty, kids and many important tasks. Who has so much time and energy to carry out other things?
2. You think that if I will ignore my duties, kids and work that will lead me to be or show selfish.
3. You think that this is not possible. Every other person makes plans and never has he stuck to his plan or schedule. So it is not worthwhile to make a plan.
These are the major reasons of not taking your growth seriously by you. If you think it would be selfish to give time to you, to follow your dreams, to flow your feelings and passions, to sit calm and reconnect then you are ignoring to yourself. If you have nothing to give others they will not respect you and what will make them respect you, this time is for that element.
Growth requires passion, patience and honesty from you. If you not take it seriously, it will take you down, annoy you and leads to a path of failure, ultimately giving you stress. One thing you have to understand that either you will grow or decline, you cannot be in steady state. This world has a system; if you want to win you have to do mastery of it. Once you got secret, you will come out of stress easily and things would begin to favoring you if you apply it. Prepare the things that matter like self realization, passion, your priorities and you can make the life you envision.
Mistake 3- Designate your efforts
Any effort to do something desirable and life- changing for you with the thoughts of “not good”, “it’s foolish” or “stupid” will directly taking your moral down before your start. You had closed your growth before making it to begin. One thing you must make yourself clear that the action of designate your efforts has major role in achievement of your target.
Human being gets energy from emotions or thoughts. For winning, your emotions towards target must be positive. Negative thoughts will leads to failure. You must give thoughts to your mind like if anybody else would be in this situation (you can take example of any person who you think is inferior to you), surely he will be more nervous than you are now. It will give you some feeling like you are better than others for this task, why to bother or think of failure like that? Now you are ready to complete that task.
“It is not because things are hard that we dare not. It is because we do not dare to think that they are hard.” - Seneca
I will leave you with few questions:
What information you noticed from above explanation?
What are the traditions you have and what you can achieve according to it?
What are the mind blocks you have about yourself and how to turn it positively?
